Pistol Issue

[AlluringAmoeba]

Anyone else having an issue with the wonky fire rate on the pistol? Whenever I am firing said handgun it seems like sometimes when I pull the trigger/click my mouse the pistol starts the recoil animation but then doesnt actually fire. This really also throws off the consistency and makes the pistol very unappetizing for any combat after a while, despite the fact that fully upgraded it is actually still a decent weapon. I would love a fix for it, because the pistol actually FEELS awesome when it does work

I've literally never seen this. Snap map or campaign?

Just seems to be an issue where the animation is not always matched up to the firing, and thusly the fire rate itself becomes very erratic, even when I am firing much slower than it seems to be able to at times

I know what you're talking about and the best thing to do about it is to not use the Pistol anymore. It's quite pointless after getting the Heavy Assault Rifle and it literally becomes pointless by the first Hell level

Actually when it works I like to use it so I can save ammo on imps and possessed soldiers, because a charge shot can one hit kill both those guys in one chest shot

I'm also having this issue. Let me know if you find a solution

Dunno, but before I upgraded with new graphics card, the pistol would fire normally even when my frame rate dropped to such level where it shouldn't be able to do so, every other weapon slowed down as usual, the pistol fired and "fired" what felt like the rate of fire it should have when frame rate is not below 30.

Now that I upgraded the graphics card, the pistol still seems to do that when trying to fire very fast, my frame rates have been very good 80-100 right now. Running Vulkan...

Well, atleast to me it felt like the pistol's fire rate is partly unhinged from frame rate.

Granted the pistol has a very low RoF, it require's 1- you don't stand still, 2- hold charge to fire weapon. 3- release buttons. 4- follow rule #1,2, n 3, till demon is dead.

I noticed this, its doesnt sync up with animation and sort of lags behind input resulting in a very reduced rate of fire. Just a weird glitch, as soon as you get the shotgun you dont even need the pistol anymore. As for saying you want to conserve ammo....this is Doom...

People do a double glitch fire method in MP, the game isn't really bug free so to speak my friend.
